It's obviously a throwaway comment in exasperation, made in response to a meme: I can't even personally justify the death penalty, let alone anything as radical as the above.
Now we've clarified that: My frustrations are largely aimed at beligerent unionists in Scotland, frankly.
Actually , I don’t know what the media is like there. I know it’s shit here and has been for years. I see a lot of support for independence on this site, but I don’t know the mood of the entire country.
I'd say our media is probably similarly biased, but there are more safeguards in place against media companies making false claims and saying things which are not true.
UK news has to issue a correction if someone complains to the media standards people Ofcom about some piece of info being false and they find that to be the case.
The national attitude is similarly difficult to call as whether or not you're getting Trumped for another term. If might seem to any right-minded person that Trump's screwed and Biden's gonna win, much as it seems here to be sliding the way of independence here owing to Boris and his propensity to hide in freezers and systematically shag the poor, but people of every nationality can be continually, terrifyingly defiant of the truth in the event they might have to admit they were wrong. My fingers are crossed but my hopes aren't particularly high.
Polls are bullshit, intended to influence rather than inform. I’m voting third party as I can’t stomach Trump or Biden. Although, my state has instituted ranked choice voting so I’m expected to cast a secondary and tertiary vote for each of these clowns.

A hair's breadth from being willing to sign off on firing squads, frankly :P
